Can you listen to aircraft on a Baofeng?
3 Answers. As far as I’ve read, all Baofeng radios do FM only. The majority of aircraft communications uses AM, so whether or not it can be tuned there, you would not hear the audio, just approximate silence (quieter the stronger the signal).

Is the BaoFeng uv-5r a good radio?
The Baofeng UV-5R is a popular two-band radio. It’s inexpensive, feature-packed, and compact. For users that are new to portable programming, the Baofeng UV-5R may be difficult to program due to the lack of Baofeng’s support, and because of its poorly written user manual.
Where do I find the frequency table on Baofeng?
Choose the COM Port number for the USB cable, the Vendor (Baofeng) and the model of the radio (such as the UV-5R) from the drop down lists in the pop-up box. The program should download the frequencies from the radio. When it completes the data transfer, the frequency table will appear on the screen.
